Fylde Council wants your view on Town and Parish Councils within Fylde Borough. Questions include:
Do you feel that the area covered by your parish or town council represents the community that you live in?

If you live in Ansdell and Lytham you do not have a parish council. Should the Council consider parishing these areas?

Are you happy with current arrangements?

To help us understand the issues, and offer informed comments, the Council’s Head of Governance, Ian Curtis has agreed to speak to us
